You can't use it by itself for bread, pancakes, rolls, etc., but you can reduce your wheat use by subbing mashed potatoes for part of the recipe. I grew up on North Dakota red potatoes. I won't eat Russets. I just moved out east and lord do I miss those things. Can't wait til I've got room for a garden of my own. ND reds and purple potatoes are definitely going in. Thanks for the great read! Just watched the “Farm for the Future” vid a couple posts up and I think potatoes are an excellent starch replacement for cereal grains.

We are enjoying our homegrown potatoes daily and they are truly a delight to the taste buds. Great piece, Jen.
